@IainMac9 Most people mistakenly think of Rupert Murdoch as a media mogul, — and this is not strictly true. Murdoch is also an oil man.

@dellway @whyrl More likely it was a requirement of the neo-liberal liberal party as a way to make the @ABC justify their funding. Couldn’t possibly provide a service for the public good of it involves a chance that eyeballs aren’t watching Rupert’s Foxtel #murdochroyalcommission

Good.
Good.

The sooner this old bastard shuffles off the better.
All he gives a shit about is money and power. Division and hate drives his empire.

The sooner we have a royal commission into the media the better.

And rabid right wing nutcases owning social media (with huge funding from Saudis).

All interesting stuff. Especially following the Murdoch/Dominion voting machines debacle. And the Crikey vs Murdoch debacle.

"Foxtel, the licensee that broadcasts Sky News Australia, will have to report back to Acma within four months on steps it is taking to avoid further breaches, including carrying out staff training.

"Three of the four Outsiders segments were part of a running series called Weather and the Sceptics Ice-Age Watch presented by Dean, the editor of the Australian edition of conservative magazine the Spectator, between October and December 2021.

"In a statement regarding the Outsiders program, Sky News said: “We would like to assure Sky News Australia viewers of our ongoing commitment to broad discussion and debate on the issues they care about. We will not shy away from exploring a wide range of viewpoints.

Um… Nice that Sky/Fox/Murdoch is interested in a "broad discussion and debate" and they want to explore a "wide range of viewpoints". Too bad the viewpoints were presented as facts instead of opinions.

The best thing about all of this is that they have shredded their own credibility.

FOX & Murdoch are on record saying they lied & undermined democracy. We need to know: what are our electoral commissions doing to safeguard our democracy from their insidious threat? #MurdochShitRag #MurdochRoyalCommission #MurdochFreeAustralia Email them now: https://murdochroyalcommission.org.au/call-on-the-aec-to-safeguard-our-democracy/

Voting machine company Dominion Voting Systems and Fox have reached a settlement in a high-profile defamation case in the United States. 

Dominion's CEO said the case was settled for $US787.5 million ($1.17 billion) and that Fox had admitted telling lies about his company.

#NewsCorpe #Australia has published multiple articles by staff writers presented as news about lottery winners but which are advertising products paid for by the lottery and lifted from its promotional material.
The media company earns revenue from publishing the articles and receives a share of the ticket sales through the links, but the articles were not marked as advertorial. #Thisisnotjournalism #MurdochRoyalCommission #propaganda

Of course he knew. We all did.
These money grubbing destroyers of democracy will do anything for the sake of a buck, with their dirty little newspapers and their shitty tv slideshows.
Republicans love it in the gutter. #MurdochRoyalCommission

@kentparkstreet

The urban myth, that people who are experiencing poverty are trying to take something from people who 'earned' their fortune was promulgated by the wealthy.

Due to Australia's extreme media ownership monopoly by the wealthy this convenient myth has been ingrained into the Australian psyche.

#MurdochRoyalCommission #inequality

@GatekeepKen @Kitchi #MurdochGutterMedia are a cancer on every democracy it gets a toe hold in. #USA #UK and #Aus are prime examples of this.

@Qldaah It’s almost as if you read these stats that the b******t in the Murdoch press might actually be, b******t?
They’ve started the propaganda process for the Libs ‘soft on crime’ election campaign already. #murdochroyalcommission
